Abstract

This article discusses the integration of large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, into physics education. LLMs are artificial intelligence methods that can generate human-like text and have the potential to enhance personalized learning and provide immediate formative feedback to students. However, there are concerns about the accuracy and reliability of the feedback provided by LLMs. The article presents an application called LEAP (Learning with AI about Physics) that allows students to interact with ChatGPT for physics problem solving, with predetermined prompts to ensure focused and relevant feedback. The article emphasizes the need for careful integration of LLMs into teaching practices and highlights the potential benefits and challenges of using LLMs in physics education.
